Afternoon all,

I am after a bit of advice if possible please.

I will start of by saying that I am a complete CAD novice. I am a Plumber by trade & get asked quite allot to quote a bathroom/kitchen from scratch.

Can any of you knowledgeable people suggest a "basic" kitchen/bathroom design package that I could use that is both user friendly, quick and easy, and not going to break the bank to purchase!?

I appreciate you guys and girls may be experts in this field & have taken years to perfect your skills, but as stated above I am a complete novice hence some advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Dan

Are you looking for 2D floorplans, elevations or 3D?

hi Robert_D, thanks for your reply.

I am looking for a 3d type of design package that also gives me the am option to show a birds eye view of the floor plan if possible!?

I am thinking something along the lines of the same kind of package a DIY store would use!?

Google CAD 3d kitchen bath design software (or similar)
There are many others, and I'm sure others here will chime in with suggestions.
